Biography

My name is Rita Duncan and I am running for the Oro Loma Sanitary District, Board of Directors short term position in November. In January, I was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors and my educational and professional background complements the strengths of the Board.

I am prepared and committed to supporting the District’s continued effort to provide excellent waste management services to the families and individuals who live in the Oro Loma Sanitary District, which includes San Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, Fairview and portions of San Leandro and Castro Valley. It is often a challenge for people who live in unincorporated communities voices to be heard. It is my commitment as a Director to create opportunities for the unheard to be heard, as it relates to the services they receive from the District.

I possess a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Human Services and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Notre Dame de Namur University. I have over 30 years of professional experience, including, human resources, performance management, employee training, safety, wellness, and organizational development. I am a trained facilitator, specializing in interpersonal and group dynamics.

I am proud to live in the Fairview area of Hayward for over 18 years and of my children graduating from Hayward and Moreau High Schools.
